President Obama ended the training program for pro-U.S. Syrian rebels Friday. The U.S. spent five hundred million dollars and wound up with only five pro-U.S. rebels. We'd have saved a lot of money and done a lot more damage if we'd just hired Ronda Rousey and put the war on Pay per View.
South Carolina cleaned up after last week's tropical storm caused the biggest flooding in state or colonial history. Naturally, Obama Administration officials blamed the monstrous storms in South Carolina on global warming. However they admit they miss blaming it on the Confederate flag.

Tonight was the first Democratic debate on CNN. And get this, they actually had an extra podium ready in case Joe Biden decided he'd join the race. Which backfired when before the debate even started people were like, "Could we just vote for the empty podium?"
Moderator Anderson Cooper asked Lincoln Chafee why he switched parties from being a Republican, and Chafee called himself a "block of granite." When asked what he meant by that, Chafee said, "I meant that I'd make a better countertop than president."

I'm sure many of you watched the first Democratic presidential debate over on CNN. CNN released where the candidates would be standing on the stage. Hillary Clinton was in the center. Bernie Sanders was on her right, making it the first time in history he's been to the right of anyone.

They were keeping a spare podium open for Joe Biden in case he decided to enter the race at the last minute, as if he's going to walk in and shock everyone like a Spanish soap opera or something.
Yaaay! It's MONDAY! Thanks for the thread, Pookie!!!
========================================================================================== By the way, I'm growing rather weary of the cheap comparisons of Obama with Neville Chamberlain. The British Prime Minister got the biggest issue of the day wrong. But no one ever doubted that he loved his country. That's why, after his eviction from Downing Street, Churchill kept him on in his ministry as Lord President of the Council, and indeed made Chamberlain part of the five-man war cabinet and had him chair it during his frequent absences.
When he [Chamberlain} died of cancer in October 1940, Churchill wept over his coffin.
So please don't insult Neville Chamberlain by comparing him to Obama. -- Mark Steyn"
